During the winter, Bulgaria imports electricity from Serbia, which is produced from Bulgarian coal. The explanation of this paradox lies in the fact that Serbia is not an EU member state and does not pay carbon emissions, so it can offer us such electricity at a lower price, the President of the Confederation of Labor Podkrepa Dimitar Manolov said for BNR.
In his words, the country's energy system is on the verge of collapse. "We let the Kozloduy Nuclear Power Plant face a difficult situation; we will build new capacities (Units 7 and 8 of Kozloduy NPP), but no one knows how much it will cost". ‘’Who would predict what the price of electricity will be on July 1 this year when household consumers enter the liberalized market? Politicians are talking about a 20% increase in the price of electricity, but there may be an increase of 22.5% or a 27%. I don’t know how they estimated that the price will increase exactly by 20%'', Dimitar Manolov said.
